Defend this, right wingers...

[Dirty Dog]

Ooops...

I know this is purely poking the bear, but we have a certain group of posters who are incredibly quick to jump on ANYTHING that a Democrat does while pretending that their party is pretty much the epitome of All Things Good and Worthy.

I love that someone felt they had to tell us how the name was pronounced!

 

[Dirty Dog]

Well with a name like Crapo...

Welll nothing like starting a topic just to cause a fight with that title but its an important topic in my opinion so:

It happens I'd wager 90% of us have driven at one time or another when we probably shouldn't have we just didn't get caught. He got caught he will pay the price no defending him he will probably get a fine and need to attend some classes just like anyone else's first offense. Sad part is so many people do it nobody seems to think they are too drunk to drive and in a place like DC there are hundreds if not 1000s of cabs at any given time. Every time a politician or sports figure gets locked up for DUI I think don't you have a handler to keep you from doing dumb stuff. Tis the season tho for DUIs with office Christmas parties and things

On a less confrontatioal note i ate alot of assparagus last night and boy my pee stinks

I can honestly say I never have. Not even once.

Oh well that makes it OK then

Thats why i said 90% i have but not in many years in fact i stopped drinking totally about 3 years ago but when i was in the Marine Corps yeah more often then not i was under the influence. I do think this is an important topic of disscussion all the talk of guns and things DUIs kill way more people then guns but to most people its not a big deal. When i arrest someone for DUI at least half of them say the famous "why are you harrassing me go catch a real criminal like a drug dealer or murderer"

Thanks for sharing.

I'm fascinated by why it happens its prob the main reason I eat since it really does not taste that good to me but the science of changing odors is amazing to me

Agreed. Drunk drivers ARE real criminals, and I'd dearly love to see much stronger sentances.

Well I can honestly say I've never heard that as a reason for eating asparagas before...

Just know you opened to door for 100 posts of left winger behaving badly

At one time i kept accident scene photos of a family killed by a drunk (i had permission from the surviving fanily to use the photos) and would show it to people i arrested but one lady filed a complaint saying she had nightmeres after seening the photos and was goinf to sue so my bosses said i had to stop.

Its the little things in life

:lol: And we'd tell the difference how? The site is already a Right-Wingers-R-Uz bill-board as it is - a few more threads can't lower the tone any further.

Well to my friends across the big pond Obama's a right winger so sure you would think that

This is very true, his policies etc mirror Cameron's. It does puzzle Brits because as far as we can see you don't have any socialists let alone communists based on your politicians and their policies and agendas. It seems you have a Right Party and an Even More Right Party!

[h=2]I want you to imagine a twelve-inch ruler, like the ones those of us of a certain age used to pack in our schoolbags. On the far left, just above the “1,” picture Trotsky and his band of crazies; on the far right, at “12,” Hitler and Genghis Khan.[/h]


Where on this scale would you place David Cameron? I’d put him at the seven-inch mark, a little to the right of Clement Attlee but definitely to the left of Tony Blair. This measured approach recognises distinctions down to a tenth of an inch, allowing Ed Miliband to sit fractionally to the left of the Prime Minister and just to the right of Nick Clegg.
Now picture a similar ruler used to define United States politics. A very different, and quite frightening, picture emerges.
Where the House of Commons covers a spread between four and nine, with the majority fitting in between five and seven, the US Congress starts at six and runs all the way up to ten, or even ten-and-a-half. Appropriately, most Democrats are at sixes and sevens; Republicans cluster around nine.
Barack Obama, like my father’s hat size, is seven and an eighth, just to the right of Cameron. Mitt Romney, the Republican most likely to face Obama in November’s presidential race, is a solid eight; Newt Gingrich, the acerbic former House Speaker, now in ill-tempered retreat, is a nine; but Rick Santorum, the arch-Catholic candidate from Pennsylvania, is not only, like Bo Derek, a Perfect Ten, he is a Ten who “throws up” at the mere mention of the separation of Church and State.

Apologies, Ballen, should've left it be - should've known such a joke (true as it is) would fall flat like a flan in a cupboard.

I've had a good morning so far; missus has eaten a bit and, at time of writing, it's stayed where it's supposed to. She reckons she might be able to wrap a present or two in a bit when she's rested. That counts as shaping up to be an excellent day.

I really don't want to spoil the first decent day in six weeks getting embroiled with silly American political nonsense (that should not get such prominent attention and leeway on an international martial arts site in my opinion but I don't pay the bills) - so I shall bow gracefully to kamiza and leave the floor so that others that have inclination can play.

EDIT: An interesting article in the Telegraph! My word . Thanks for the link, Tez.

I knew you were joking as was I apparently my joke fell more flat then your own

By the. Way very glad to hear your lovely lady is having a good day. It made me smile to see you proud of small victories

It may not be your thing but I will pray for her.

Apropos absolutely nothing other than I love this picture and I hope it makes you smile as it did me ( and say aaaah!) have a good holiday guys.

Oh come on, if it is OK for Kennedy's it should be OK for everyone else.

For anyone lurking, now this is the way to handle any misunderstandings. Reminesant of the dojo sparring floor, where you get a few hits in, but at the end you can "bow" out and carry on. :asian:

 

[billc]

Why would we defend drunk driving...we aren't democrats after all. We believe in the rule of law for everyone, and being held accountable for our behavior. Also, politicians are hardly defendable on most things anyway. What is funny is that this guy gets actual media coverage for what he did, as opposed to the media ignoring it if he was a democrat

Ted "remember Mary Jo," kennedy, comes to mind and he was considered the "Lion of the Senate," chris "waitress sandwich with ted kenndy," dodd, comes to mind...and he screwed up the mortgage industry...

Had nightmares from seeing the possible repercussions of her actions. GOOD! I'd say that meant that it was working.
